Lowering down the curtain with Lo’ lit

Over a steaming spread of this lo’ lit goodness, I laid back and surrender myself to a feel of a zen-like stillness while pondering upon my colorful life in the past years. The overwhelming dose of nostalgia over the many ups and downs of my life journey, has led me to believe that live has many things to offer and full of surprises.

These metamorphosis phase of life, just like lo’ lit is another transformation from a natural God send produces and his wonderful creations into a kaleidoscope of edible sensation for his loyal disciples and the one who believe that in order to survive, we have to eat…of course.

Now, if you ask me how these brilliantly transformation takes place, from the basic ingredient into this C4-like wonder, I wouldn’t know and not sure myself. The experience has long gone, when I was still a small kid, during a rice harvesting season in Kg. Sg. Derhaka. My late grandmother was the one who dealt with this heavenly crop while me, who was just contemplating to melt everything she generously invented into my eager mouth. For the uninitiated who has been asking this lo’ lit recipe, I have to excuse myself and let the others who have a better memory and wisdom to give the answer. And yes, I don’t eat recipe, I eat anything that materialized from the good culinary practices. Probably that is the one thing I need to learn this new year. Digesting all the good recipes.

For all intents and purposes, again I am in the center of the universe. My life will seamlessly continue to evolve in harmony with the morphing and ever-changing habitat, blend in well with the natural ecosystem and change to the tune of my insane surrounding. My epic life journey once again begins. Lets start our first step with bismillah and pray to Allah that the days to come will be full of joy and laughter, surrounded with the ones that we loved dearly and most of all, showered with all the mercy and love by the ONE.
